Conclusions

  • Patients with G12D mutations have significantly lower survival compared to G12R.
  • Significant molecular differences were seen in MAPK pathway gene expression, markers of immune activation, and genes involved in glucose and glutamine metabolism.
  • Metformin use appeared to impact survival in the KRAS G12R subgroup.
  • We aim to further explore distinct vulnerabilities based on MAPK pathway activation and dysregulated metabolism.
  • Based on this data, future studies should address the KRAS mutation status and explore distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities.
